Francis Beckett’s new play Make England Great Again is set just after the Britons First Party wins its first ever general election victory, and its charismatic leader Max Moore enters 10 Downing Street. It’s a comedy, but also a warning. Francis Beckett’s last three plays have had successful runs at Upstairs at the Gatehouse. The New Statesman called A Modest Little Man “a moving and entertaining play about Clement Attlee.” In The House Magazine, John McDonnell MP wrote of Vodka with Stalin: “As always with Francis’s work, you can’t fail to become emotionally close to the characters.” His Tom Lehrer is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to You was “A glorious celebration of one of the brightest, wittiest and most principled satirists”.
